Nov-17-09		notyetagm: 17 ... ? click for larger view What does Carlsen do about the threat of 18 a3x♗b4 ? 17 ... ♕d8xd4! click for larger view Ignore it, of course! 18 ♕d1x♕d4 ♘f4-e2+ <knight forks: d4,g1> click for larger view 19 ♔g1-h1 ♘e2x♕d4 click for larger view And now we see the tactical point that let Carlsen ignore the threatened a3x♗b4: the <UNDEFENDED> White b3-bishop hangs at the end of this excellent <KNIGHT FORK> combination. Hence 1) 20 a3x♗b4 ♗e6x♗b3 click for larger view 2) 20 ♗b3x♗e6 ♖e8x♗e6 attacking the <UNDEFENDED> White e5-knight click for larger view Outstanding <TACTICAL PLAY> by Carlsen.
